Jaki grzech, taka i kara Śmierć jako odpłata za grzech według Drugiej Księgi Machabejskiej
Like-for-Like. Death as a Retribution for Sin According to the Second Book of Maccabees

Summary/Abstract: This work presents a characteristic way of composition of episodes about deaths of sinners present in Second Book of Maccabees. They die in a way that emphasizes the relationship between the type of their death and previous sins. A separate topic is the story of Antiochus IV Epiphanes. This king died as a rebel against God. The author combined here the motif of concern with legends about theomachy. Antiochus will not have a part in the resurrection of life when the bodies of the saints are reborn and the lost parts of the body are restored. This way of interpreting history is the result of the catechetical tendencies of the book.
